 The first "org.openmoko.Dialer" is the ''bus name'' of the service on the bus and "/org/openmoko/Dialer" is an ''object path'' in the service. Before calling a method on the object via the ''proxy object'' we still need to specify which ''interface'' the method belongs to: the second (and third) "org.openmoko.Dialer". Finally "Dial" is the method in the interface.
